Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Rupinder directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and ACT techniques translate to online work
Rupinder uses Narrative Therapy to help people re-author the stories they tell about themselves, making it easier to notice different perspectives and new possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and teach small practical steps to live by those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rupinder will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods collaboratively. That means trying practical exercises, reflective conversation or a blend of both until the right fit emerges.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can make therapy easier to fit around work, study or family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited, short live chat or text messages suit quick check-ins and written reflection. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what works best for their routine and needs.
